I LOVE this card.
A marriage of opposites: One dark, one fair, one male, one female - or are they? One of the things I like so much about this card is the androgenousness (is that a word? ) of the couple. At first glance it's a man and a woman but when you look closer it could just as easily be 2 men or 2 women - you just can't tell.
Their union is blessed by 2 cherubs - again one dark, one light. A God and a Goddess also bless this union - Pan: Lord of the Wildwood - passionate, playful, masculine and Kuan Yin: Peaceful, compassionate, feminine. I think that this God and Goddess represent how loving relationships change as they grow deeper with time.
Roses and lilies bloom nearby. The roses and lilies could represent choices. Red roses could also represent passion and desire. They are traditionally the flowers of love, are sacred to love Goddesses such as Aphrodite and Venus and can be associated with the pentegram because of their 5 petalled shape. The rose is the symbol of perfection in alchemy.
White lilies are often used to represent purity or things relating to the spiritual realm.
I'm looking forward to your thoughts on this one - it's one of my all time favorite Lovers cards.
Love
